Phase 1 of restart begins Monday

Gov. Andy Beshear announced Thursday that Kentucky will begin a gradual restart and reopening of Phase 1 health care services and facilities beginning Monday, April 27. There will be restrictions and changes as the reopenings occur.

On March 23, Beshear signed an executive order ceasing all elective procedures to limit the spread of COVID-19 and increase hospital capacity to treat patients. The commonwealth begins easing some restrictions on health care procedures and facilities next week.

This guidance does not apply to long-term care settings, prisons, other industries, or other settings for which separate guidance has already or will be provided in the future. This guidance does not apply to elective surgeries or procedures which will be addressed in a subsequent phase.

All health care providers and staff must wear surgical/procedural masks and gloves while in health care office/facility. All patients and other persons in health care office/facility must wear a surgical/procedural mask while in health care facility and wear either a surgical/procedural mask or cloth mask/face covering in all other health care settings.
